Company Description

5:00 P.m. in Business’s Office

The Employment Standards Act (ESA) applies to staff members.

A staff member includes an individual who:

– carries out work for an employer for wages

– supplies services to an employer for wages

– receives training from a company, if the skill in which the person is being trained is a skill utilized by the employer’s workers

– is a homeworker

– was a worker

Effective March 21, 2024, an employee consists of a person who performs work during a trial period for a company, if the skills being evaluated during the trial period are abilities used by the employer’s employees or might be utilized by staff members if there are no other staff members. For instance, where an employer of a dining establishment asks a task prospect to work a trial shift waiting tables to demonstrate their capability to perform the task, employment even where no employment offer has actually been made to that candidate, the person is an employee under the ESA.

The ESA does not use to independent contractors, volunteers or other people who are not covered under the ESA. A private considered a worker might be entitled to rights such as:

– base pay

– overtime pay

– public holidays

– trip with pay

– notification of termination or termination pay

Under the ESA, employers are not enabled to deal with employees covered by the Act as if they are not workers. If a company misclassifies a worker in this method, a work standards officer can provide a notification of contravention that results in a charge, a prosecution or both versus the employer.

Please note, the ESA provides minimum standards just. Some workers may have greater rights under an employment contract, collective contract, the typical law or other legislation.

How to tell who is a worker

The relationship in between a private and the business (or person) they are working for identifies whether the person is a worker and entitled to defenses under the ESA. An individual might be thought about a worker under the ESA when at least a few of the following explains the relationship:

– the work the individual carries out is a vital part of business

– the service decides:- what the person is to do

– just how much the individual will be paid

– where and when the work is carried out

If you’re not sure who is a worker under the ESA, call the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s Employment Standards Information Centre at:

– 416-326-7160

– toll-free at 1-800-531-5551

TTY 1-866-567-8893

The Information Centre can help callers in numerous languages. They can offer general details about who is a staff member but can not offer recommendations.

If you’re still unsure whether someone is a worker, please speak to an attorney.

How to tell who is an independent contractor

An independent professional is someone who is in business on their own. An individual may be thought about an independent specialist, and not covered by the ESA, when a minimum of a few of the following uses:

– the business can end the individual’s contract for services, but can not discipline the individual

– the person:- has the chance to make an earnings and has a danger of losing cash from the work

– identifies how, when or where the work is carried out

– chooses whether to subcontract a few of the work

Example

Fariah works as a consumer service agent for a sales business. She needs to work Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the business’s office. She uses business’s telephones and computer . She is paid $25.50 per hour. Her employment agreement does not have an end date, although her employer can fire or discipline her for bad efficiency. Her work contract states that she is an independent specialist and so she does not receive overtime pay, vacation pay or public vacation pay.

Fariah thinks she may really be an employee and might be entitled to overtime pay, employment getaway pay and public holiday pay. She sues with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.

An employment standards officer investigates her claim. The officer takes a look at the relationship in between Fariah and the sales organization and finds that she is a staff member

It does not matter that Fariah signed the employment agreement mentioning that she is an independent professional since the facts show she is a staff member.

The employment standards officer orders the sales organization to:

– pay Fariah the overtime pay, vacation pay and public holiday pay that she was entitled to as an employee.

– orders the company to provide wage declarations and keep records

Employee or independent professional: Common mistaken beliefs

A person might be considered a worker even if:

– the specific and business concur (orally or in composing) that the individual is an independent contractor. It is the relationship in between the individual and the organization (or individual) that matters, not the label that is offered to it

– the individual:- charges the harmonized sales tax (HST).

– submits invoices to business.

– utilizes their own lorry for work functions.

Volunteers

Volunteers are not staff members under the ESA. However, employment the reality that somebody is called a “volunteer” does not figure out whether that individual is a staff member and entitled to the defenses of the ESA.

The main elements that identify whether someone is a volunteer or employment a staff member are just how much:

– the business (or person) benefits from the person’s services.

– the individual views the plan as remaining in pursuit of a living.

In family-run businesses, the question will typically be whether the individual is supplying services in pursuit of a living or in service of the household.

If the person is supplying services to the household, instead of services in pursuit of a living, that person is most likely to be a volunteer.

The fact that no wages were paid does not always suggest that somebody is a volunteer. The truth that there was some form of payment does not necessarily suggest someone is an employee. For example, an honorarium may have been paid, instead of earnings.
